Top 10 Handyman Services in Tallapoosa, GA
Top questions to ask before hiring a handyman
Handymen are hired to do many various home improvement tasks. Some are general tradesmen, who have a variety of experiences. Others have licenses and training in electrical work or plumbing. The key is asking what their level of experience is for the type of work you need done. Before you call a handyman, know what you need done along with any important details. You'll want an in-home consultation so that you can walk through the project.
Handyman licensing varies from state to state however it's a good question to ask your handyman. You'll also want to verify the dollar amounts for their surety bond (a third party that can cover payments in case the handyman doesn't pay subcontractors or employees) as well as insurance (in case they damage your property or injure themselves).
After the handyman has had a chance to walk through the project, have him or her outline the scope of work. The details of the project, including labor, materials, supplies, rental equipment, or subcontractors, should be listed as separate line items. If you are on a tight budget or timeline, this is the time to discuss options or alternatives for your project. If the project is small, like hauling debris or performing minor repair work, the handyman should request payment when the job is complete. For larger projects that require ordering of materials or multiple subcontractors, it's more common to pay a deposit.
Obtaining proper permits for home improvement is the responsibility of the homeowner. But very often professional file the permits on behalf of the homeowner and should have a good understanding of the process. When the structure of the home is altered, or when changes are made to the electrical system or gas lines, you may need to file a permit. Discuss your particular project with your handyman and ask if a permit is required.
A good handyman should be happy to share references. Anywhere from three to five past clients should be able to give you a good idea about the handyman's work style, ability to get the job done, and the satisfaction when the job is complete. If a homeowner wasn't satisfied with the handyman, be sure you ask specifically why. Sometimes miscommunication can contribute to unsatisfied customers.
Recent reviews for Tallapoosa Handymen
The absolute worst. I scheduled service to have my dryer vent cleaned through a promotion that American Home Shield was offering. He punctured a hole in my dryer vent and refuses to answer any calls.
These guys were great, showed up on time, diagnosed the problem and made the repair all with keeping there word and fair pricing. That's what I call great service. Thanks Alpha Tech Mechanical.
dryer vent clogged due to prior contractor attempting to "unclog" it. We had water in the dryer vent so we assumed it was condensation or a leak. Bill was there quickly, got the parts and finished the same day. He took a picture of the clogged pipe for me...
I checked around and best price for work to be done. Excellent work and he explains what he will need to do to complete the job. I would highly recommend him for plumbing jobs.
Last week I used Porch to find a plumber. I used Greg Leatherwood who runs ANYTIME PLUMBING & APPLIANCE REPAIR as he responded quickly once I posted my job on Porch and I was in a hurry as my house is up for sale. He did two jobs for me. One he completed...
Definitely my Go To Guy now.. found out he does a lot more than plumbing. Handyman service as well. Saved me $345 on my hot water installation and only took him less than 3 hours. Impressive
The gentleman was Professional and Knowledgeable. Outstanding.
Extremely professional and very kind.
